wireframebox Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 As far as I know, he's still a Southampton player and a bit of a forgotten man? Do you think he'll have a place in the squad next season? I've not seen any mention of him moving on, or singing permanently with Brighton, where he's been on loan?
Dig Dig Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 He's been on loan at Brighton, is still a saints player and won't be needed next season or ever.
pingwing Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 He had no chance of a place this year so no idea why he would be in contention next. Scored that good goal against Leeds at the last of the champ season but was never going to set the premier league on fire, can only assume he will ship out this year to get first team somewhere.
Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 As far as I know, he's still a Southampton player and a bit of a forgotten man? Do you think he'll have a place in the squad next season? I've not seen any mention of him moving on, or singing permanently with Brighton, where he's been on loan? He simply isn't good enough for what Saints needed this season and going forward into next season. Which is why he's out on loan aged 30 to a good Championship club, that is his level.
SuperSAINT Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 No. Was a very good player for us when we needed him in league 1 though. Cracking goal vs Leeds to get us started in the Championship too. I will remember his time here fondly.
Saint Garrett Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Great player for us and worthy captain, but we've outgrown him along with a fair few others !
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Can't see any way back for him and Sharp. If anything the club wants to push on next season so if the powers that be determined they were surplus to requirements this season then they are even further away from being involved next season. Just hope we get a half decent fee for them and no further obligation to subsidise their wages.
Saint Lindford Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 No. Whilst he is still a Saints player he won't be around next season. Was just what we needed in League 1 and the Championship season, he is not a PL player. I fully expect him plus Chaplow, Sharp, Barnard, Seabourne and Martin who were the other loanees (are there others) to all be transferred out in the summer.
This Charming Man Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Did a job for us in L1. Struggled a bit in the Championship at times and is nowhere near good enough for the Premier League.
This Charming Man Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 What about Lee Barnard??! He won't ever play for us again either.
sussexsaint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Sensible to keep him on th ebooks when there was a chance of relegation but not now. Wish him well, he was there when we needed him and put in some decent performances.
saint1977 Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 With Poyet suspended, uncertain if Brighton will take up their option. Wouldn't be surprised if he popped up at Bournemouth actually. Howe is rumoured to have a decent wage budget to strengthen, it was strongly rumoured that he was interested in Dean when he was at Burnley last summer and rates him as a good leader. Would do well for Bournemouth and no need for Dean to move house or uproot his family.
Professor Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Loan at Brighton has definitely ended so he's back with Saints. Was very good for us at the right level but clearly not regarded as a Prem player or he wouldn't have been loaned out. Expect to see him leave, possibly on a Free.

I know they have a Russian sugar daddy but wonder if they are going the same way of our friends down the road ?
Gis Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Great player for us and worthy captain, but we've outgrown him along with a fair few others ! Agree with above comment. I've been really impressed with the players that have ended up in the same situation as Dean. Billy Sharpe, Fraser Richardson, and Richard Chaplow come immediately to mind who have been good servants to the Club but have simply been 'outgrown' by success. No major moaning or friction has been apparent which is credit to them all. It couldn't have been that nice to do the job in the Championship and then just be effectively dumped. I guess the same goes for Nigel Adkins as well...........an angle I never quite understood was the press stirring over this issue, if we had signed a better Centre Half no-one would have given it any further thought. Can't see the difference between an upgrade in a player or manager myself, even if it is all pretty cut throat.
the saint in winchester Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 There will be a number of players 'made available' over the summer. Players who aren't at Premier level, more at Championship and League 1 level. As said above, while we were unsure whether we would be playing in the Champo next season, it made sense to keep them on our books and loan them out. Any who are out of contract are free to pursue their careers elsewhere, and any still in contract will be given a price tag or made available for loan. The Club will now focus on top league players, either from home or abroad.
Charlie Wayman Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Anyone else wonder where B'mth cash keeps coming from....? Average gate of just over 6k last year. I know they have a Russian sugar daddy but wonder if they are going the same way of our friends down the road ? Harry's got an interest there and mates.
ART Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 I expect Dean like all loanees will report back with all the squad and Pochettino will giv e them the once over to decide what is done with them. It's obvious that it was Reed that pressurised Cortese to get Apkins to send them out on loan.
Charlie Wayman Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Dean Hammondd is a great box-to-box player like Jack Cork but less mobile and with less stamina. He's played really well for the Seagulls and almost helped them into the PL. Had he done so it would have been bitter irony for the lad if Brighton had also taken the view that he isn't good enough for the PL. Age is against him but he deserves a crack at it surely, just look at how Rickie responded to all those taunts of not being up to it. Alas the modern Saints don't do sentiment and it is more likely we'll end up with a bus load of La Liga senors. Let's hope the Brits don't get marginalised and we end up like Gooners or Manky with hardly a local lad on the team sheet.
Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Age is against Dean Hammond but he deserves a crack at it surely, just look at how Rickie responded to all those taunts of not being up to it. Those that hadn't seen Lambert play might have said he wouldn't be upto the Premier League, anyone that saw him regularly in the Championship could see that he would be. Hammond on the other hand simply isn't good enough for the Premier League at the level Saints would want. Cork, Schneiderlin, Davis and Ward-Prowse are all ahead of him in the pecking order and Saints have other young central midfielders coming through.
L1Minus10 Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 There were games in the season, especially at the start when Cork was injured where Deano could have done a job but now he'd just be blocking the path for players like Ward-Prowse and Chambers and we want the youngsters to come through. We'd have got more out of Billy Sharp than Mayuka though who looks ******** to me.
Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Mayuka looks ******** to me. Really? I've been impressed from the brief cameos we've seen of him and I think he'll be used a lot more next season.
The9 Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 He'll be at Reading next season. Not just me that thinks that is likely then ?

Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 I beg to differ. Ok then... Those that hadn't seen Lambert play might have said he wouldn't be upto the Premier League, anyone that saw him regularly in the Championship and knows their football could see that he would be. Better?

pingwing Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Didn't deano score a cracking own goal I'm that 6-1 win last month for them as well, one of those headers that at the other end would have had everyone screaming pick that one out!
VectisSaint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 I expect Dean like all loanees will report back with all the squad and Pochettino will giv e them the once over to decide what is done with them. It's obvious that it was Reed that pressurised Cortese to get Apkins to send them out on loan. Is it? Why on earth do you think Adkins had no say in who went out on loan, yet you think MP will have a say. Fair enough if you don't like Reed, but just making things up to suit is a bit silly.
VectisSaint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Really? I've been impressed from the brief cameos we've seen of him and I think he'll be used a lot more next season. Apart from Saturday he has done nothing to impress. Bambi on Ice comes to mind. But he must be better than he has looked, no-one could do what he did at YB and the ANC and be complete crap.
Smirking_Saint Posted 22 May, 2013 Posted 22 May, 2013 Really? I've been impressed from the brief cameos we've seen of him and I think he'll be used a lot more next season. I usually give players time, and sometimes I see things in players but for me I have seen very little of young Mayuka except for pace and a decent attitude. Hopefully he will show me the form which made him one of the worlds high potential youngsters
hutch Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 We'd have got more out of Billy Sharp than Mayuka though who looks ******** to me. Who's Billy Sharp? Is he the little Yorkshire bloke?
Andre Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Sharp played twice and scored once this season. #justsaying
hutch Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 It was supposed to be a veiled reference to Mayuka in Billy's blog.
Greedyfly Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Worse. Seems an odd thread to be picking at still when he ended up being the top English scorer in the league, helped keep us up and was very worthy of his time in the prem. Whether he repeats it is another matter but to say he wasn't up to it would suggest you are merely carrying on with your Lambert agenda for the sake of it when statistics and performances would argue completely the opposite.
Andover_Saint07 Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 He'll be at Reading next season. As will danny fox , As harte has left the club....
Bad Wolf Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 A decent FL player and a loyal servant who always put in 100% but as much as it saddens me to say it, his time has passed, we've outgrown him.
Toon Saint Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 Zero pace, turns like a double-decker lorry, passing isn't the best, a mid-level Championship player at best. Some good memories of his goal vs. Leeds in first game of our Championship season, as well as him jeering the Brighton fans when scoring against them in L1. Apart from that, he won't be sorely missed. I've got quite a few Brighton fans as friends who dismiss him as a bit of a liability this season.

All I did was indicate that not everyone could see Lambert would be up to the Premier League. That is 1) not a criticism of him and 2) completely true, even if everyone else seems to be retrospectively claiming they knew he was going to be superb all along. There were plenty who weren't sure, and I think the majority would say he's done better than they expected. I've also done the irrelevance of being joint top English scorer to death already. It simply isn't important, it is barely important being THE top scorer.
david in sweden Posted 23 May, 2013 Posted 23 May, 2013 As far as I know, he's still a Southampton player and a bit of a forgotten man? Do you think he'll have a place in the squad next season? I've not seen any mention of him moving on, or singing permanently with Brighton, where he's been on loan? Nice guy -YES. Good team captain ?........er. YES (at the time ) .......a future as SMS as a first choice Prem. player .......SORRY .....I think not
